I am aware of that, but I try to strike a balance between adding the 
latest and greatest into IcedTea6 versus waiting for everything to come 
in through openjdk{6,7} drops. I think it is quite important to get 
patches reviewed by upstream before adding them to icedtea6. How about 
this: as soon as something is accepted in openjdk6, I will add it to 
icedtea6 as well. Does that sound like a sensible compromise?
